Max and Maggy

These are two characters I was commissioned to design for a small startup that's creating a product to help kids with their fine motor skills.

B is for Bunnipipe

I'm making progress, just a little slow to post this. Hope to post "C" soon.

Alphabet Series

I've started an alphabet series that I've wanted to do for a long time. Surprisingly enough, I began with the letter "A". Up next, Bunnipipes.

Chalk Martian

After a long hiatus, I've finally added another drawing to my Chalk Art Blog.

Hopefully, I'll have some commercial illustration to post real soon.

More Maps

This is an illustration I did that was installed in a learning center in Israel. It was so cool! The theme was an enchanted fairy tale forest.

This is all ink and Illustrator (and Streamline which I miss)

Bugs From A to Z

I finished all the bugs and put them together in a poster. In my "not looking ahead" brain, I never planned to put them all together, so some groups are heavy in one color range, still, it's done. I'm happy. What more do you need...

Bug Alphabet

I've finished my alphabet series that I've been bringing to lunch. Here are the first nine letters.
Haven't put the others in blocks yet. Had a great time with it. The paintbucket tool and I are now an item-a little weird, I know, but works.

Ladybug Factory

Now you know how ladybugs are made.
